Notes
This helicopter was born of the Seibel patents and rights, but built by Cessna. Cessna bought the helicopter when they acquired the patents and rights to the Seibel helicopters.
This helicopter looks strikingly like many Cessna air planes in its body shape. It was designed by the former owner of Seibel who became a designer for Cessna.
